What's new?

Not much, and at the same time, enough. Enough to make a post here after a few months at least.

We have moved out of Fort Lauderdale, though we haven't sold our place yet. At this point it looks like we're going to take a big loss on it. Whatever. At this point we just want to be rid of it and rid of Florida.

We're staying with Abee's parents for the time being. The bright side of that is when I finish my last flight of a trip, 20 minutes later I'm "home" rather than going to a crashpad or jumpseating on a 5-hour commute to Ft. Lauderdale. Oh did I mention being based in Indianapolis is great? I missed it here so much the last four years. Florida had its great bits and all, especially the ocean and the scenery while flying, but it just wasn't home.

The flying out of Indianapolis is pretty slow this month, and I'm still pretty junior in this base, so I'm on reserve this month, which means there are certain days I'm on call and certain days I'm guaranteed off, but no definite flying schedule. Generally it's nicer to have a set schedule. With that, you know ahead of time every day when and where you'll be working and every day that you'll be home, and you usually get about 80+ hours of flying a month. However, since I'm paid for a minimum of 75 hours of flying a month anyway, even on reserve, and I haven't had to work since July 1st (I've been on call, just haven't been called), and I'm not commuting, it's pretty nice. It's less money in the long run, but it's money for sitting around, which means more efficiency, or something. All that said, I managed to have a set schedule (a "line" it's called) in May and June, so I'm hoping there's enough flying here in August that I get a line then as well.

In the mean time, I love this movie. Yeah, I've already mentioned it before. But since the new Transformers movie rocks and this movie is narrated by Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) it deserves another watch.

Oh yeah, and my sister moved to Sydney. Whoa! Good luck Annie!
